According to Ken, You’ve Got the Time is “the antidote for the oldest excuse for not writing a book in the book. If you’ve got the passion for your idea, you’ve got the time to write your book. You’ve Got the Time shows you where to find it and how to harness its power.”
You’ve Got the Time teaches you how to
- Create order and make sense out of the ideas that are already swirling around in your mind
- Name your files — including chapter and manuscript drafts, web text, freewriting adventures, spreadsheets, and more; as well as correspondence with typesetters, artists, printers, web developers, editors, experts, celebrities, and other industry experts — so you can find them when you need them
- Prepare for and conduct expert interviews so you can sound like an authority even when you know you aren’t one
- Make your prose flow like poetry even if you are weak in mechanics, grammar, and spelling
- Track down and reach out to experts and celebrities whose forewords and testimonials will give your book credibility and marketability
- Negotiate a book contract with knowledge and confidence
- Build your income stream by thinking like a bestseller — whether or not your book makes a list
- Prepare yourself and your loved ones for that time when finishing your book takes over your life, and your precious time with them is threatened
In addition, you learn everything you need to know about designing your cover; obtaining your ISBN, barcode, copyright, and index; coding your files for upload to ebook, POD, and audio; and more.
